[Asterisk-Users] revisit to legacy PBX and CID over PRI

[C F]

I have seen this problem with Avaya megix/merlin legend. The
workaround is that for every call the goes to the legacy system do
something like this:
exten => _X.,1,Set(CALLERID(name)"")
exten => _X.,2,Dial(whateverconnectstoyourlegacysystem)
